observing that one of his horses called Hans, showed signs of un- usual intelligence, began to teach the animal as if it were a child.

This was the beginning of a movement by psychologists in all parts of the civilised world to make a serious study of the intel- ligence of the horse and dog, and to a lesser degree of the chimpan

Within a short time Van Osten had taught Hans to add and sub- tract, the horse giving its answerz by hoof taps.

Han's fame soon spread ́ail over Germany. Professors, veterinary surgeons. heads of zoological gar- dens, and cavalry officers poured into Elberfeld, and a commission or enquiry was instituted.

Professor Claparede, of the University of Geneva, examined the phenomenon more exhaustive- ly than the others, and the results he obtained were for the most part negative.

Sometimes the horses gave cor- rect answers when their groom was present, sometimes they did not, and when he was alone with them none seemed able to give cor rect replies.

Then the celebrated author and playwright, Maurice Maeterlinck, tried what he could do with them,

alone or with their groom present,

and in every instance the answers given were correct!

Telepathy Theory.

Celebrated doctora drew up report to the effect that Hans could accomplish simple subtraction, multiplication, and division, and also answer questions by means of hoof taps, the number of taps coin eiding with previously selected letters of the alphabet.

The doctors all declared thereparatively easy. could have been no trickery, since

How can that be accounted for? if it be a question of telepathic communication between the exami- rer and the horse, as is undoubtedly the case between certain human beings, the solution might be com-

It is possible from what we the same results were obtainable know of Materlinck that he would whether Van Osten was present or be far more likely to be "in sym- not; but at the same time they ad-pathy" with an animal than would mitted that the horse could only a person not naturally gifted" in perform these wonders of memory

In order to find some rational cxplanation of these astonishing facts, Herr Kraill, a rich merchant of Elberfeld (Germany), who was greatly interested in the experi- ments, purchased Haas, and a little later bought two young Arabian horses called Muhammed and Zarif. He employed the same method of training them as Van Osten had used, teaching them as he would a class of kindergarten children, Intelligently and affec- tionately,

Within a short time he obtained the most surprising results, and became thoroughly convinced that horses вге really "thinking" animals. He found that' Hans could give answers equally cor. rectly in the dark and in daylight In the case of Muhammed and Zarif the lessons lasted from one to one and a half hours daily, the horses being taught to tap units with one foot and tens with the other.

Thirteen days after his first leason Muhammed correctly solved

But how can we account for those cases in which the horses replies were correct when neither the examiner nor any one else pre- sent knew what the figures were on the cards which the horses were told to add, subtract, or re- verse in their order.
